Day 351 July 9 Hastings Village Marina Hastings ON

We are up early waiting for repairman David to show up at 8:30AM....and he does....on the dot....Yeah!!!!

It is determined that the Regulator in the Alternator has gone bad and on these long runs the battery to the Port Engine is not charging enough to start the engine.  Two choices....limp into Peterborough and have it fixed there or move to Hastings Village Marina and have David fix it here.....
Pretty easy decision.....we are staying in Hastings until the problem is solved.....
So we move the boat across the bay to a T-dock on the end


This is where we are going

Weather is good today
 
 
Hastings is a quiet village with a population of 1,200
 
 
Some research on What is a Crib???
 
We have seen many cribs on the river.  During Upper Canada's early logging days, the cribs helped lumbermen control log booms as they raced through the river's turbulent rapids and waterfalls.
Many of these cribs are still visible today.  A square timber was fitted into the square hole in the middle of the crib.  Cables were strung between the timbers (which floated).  The cables kept the center of the channel free of logs and debris allowing steamboats safe passage between the logs....How about that!
